10 Totally Unexpected Finds People Discovered in Their Backyards

Thousand-year-old bones of an Indian

Ali Erturk, a 14-year-old boy from Salt Lake City, made a gruesome discovery in 2014. He was digging a hole for a pond in his yard and found human bones in the ground.

The boy’s father called the police at once, and a forensic test showed that they were the remains of an American Indian who had lived there about 1,000 years earlier. Archeologists continued excavating in the yard, and they think they’ll find Indian burial grounds which will help them understand more about ancient cultures.

We can’t help but wonder what it’s like to realize that your home stands on an old Indian cemetery?
